What's in a name?  For Sarrah Brittin, a transit is a serendipitous alignment of Earth, Venus, the sun, dough, cheese, and toppings.  The Pizza Transit restaurant, established by Sarah's father in 1987 and now under her ownership, recently relocated to 215 E. Main St. in Niles, Michigan.  Concurrent with the restaurant's new environment are two new items on the menu: Transit of Venus Pizza and Black Drop Effect Pizza. 

The Transit of Venus Pizza takes on the characteristics of the celestial bodies seen during the transit, highlighted by spicy chorizo sausage, jalapeno peppers, and cheddar cheese.  The Black Drop Effect Pizza is a veggie simulation of the event itself, with spinach punctuated by black olives.  The interim orange logo, adapted by Lisa Taylor of Taylor Design, plays on the original branding for Pizza Transit, shown in blue.

Thanks to Pizza Transit for sharing their enthusiasm for the 2012 transit of Venus and for hosting a gathering of the TROVE planning team, right.  Pizza Transit is also the site for a TROVE Adventure treasure hunt clue.  If you visit Pizza Transit to get your Keyword, be sure to pick up a pizza while you're there. You won't be disappointed.
